Am I too pessimistic about this? Today it can detect ransomware, the next day could be malware, and the day after can be any file.

It’s just a data filter that’s build in to a hardware and possibly no way to trun off. Last thing I want is a black box watching what I stored on my drive.

      Just to play devil’s advocate here: if that system can scan better than current systems, it’s already a win. If that system can scan more efficiently than current systems, even with false positives, that could be a win, if used as a screening layer.

      There could be use cases for this, or it’s just buzzwords and marketing.

      No change then. Every time I’ve uploaded new encrypted (most) data to one drive, it’s emailed me about potential ransomware.
